Another suggested uuencode too.  Which I'd prefer to installing
procmail/formail, at least to learn how to use it.  Also, this system is
strictly a mail server on which I don't like to haphazardly install programs
I'm unfamiliar with.  At least those that don't come with the system.  :-)

I tried this by analogy with man uuencode's example (uuencode src_tree.tar.Z
| mail sys1!sys2!user)

uuencode /var/mail/test	|mail -s test user@domain.com

Which didn't work.  I'm quite ignorant about /usr/bin/mail and have never
used uuencode, and haven't found reference yet to the sys1!sys2!user syntax
or its interpretation.

Thanks,

Riley
